A writer always wears glasses and never combs his hair. Half the time he feels angry about everything and the other half depressed.

He always has amazing ideas for the plot of his next novel, and hates the one he has just published.

This world of imagination is infinite and eternal, whereas the world of generation is finite and temporal. There exist in that eternal world the eternal realities of everything which we see reflected in this vegetable glass of nature.

For although nepenthe has calmed me, I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.
